I've never looked at a guy & thought, "STOP THE BUS & drop them pants, Bubba! I only got 3 seconds left!"

MEN want that. Maybe SOME women. MOST women DON'T. Only once did I ever jump on a guy but it was 2 hours after we met & we'd been flirting non-stop for over 4 months by email & phone.

He was a confident VP living 2000 miles from me. He first sent me a wink that said, "I love you!" I found that cute cuz he didn't even KNOW me, so I winked back. Every day following, he sent me a new wink. When he ran out of those, he emailed me daily & called me every 3rd day.

He told me things he found irrestible about me. Unadulterated flattery. Went straight to my head even though I knew better. Often he'd come up with something new & say, "That's another thing I love most about you, Kate," & then he'd elaborate.

One time he wrote, "Hope you're having a good day. I'm absolutely horny. Are you busy? Sorry, I'm just joking!" I thought that was ADORABLE! He flirted more & I felt comfortable with him. One day he said he was coming to my city on business & asked if I wanted to spend the weekend. I so DID.

I met him at the airport. He got off the plane last to build sexual tension. When he came down the escalator it was all I could do to keep from tearing off my sweater & running at him. He got a limo to go to the hotel. While in the car, he just kissed me briefly, took my hand & held it. It was such a simple, subtle gesture I nearly cried.

Once at the hotel, he checked in & we got on the elevator to the 19th floor. The second the doors closed, I threw off my leather coat, he dropped his attache & we locked tongues like leeches, bodies pressed hard together, hands grabbing, moaning & breathing fast, just like in the movies.

We parted, reluctantly & walked quietly to his room. We barely had the door shut when the clothes started tearing off. We shared each other's company 6 times in 3 hours before we got room service. HE was good. Mmmemories.

Your first date is a fact finding mission? What a boring date that would be, you never answered my question, surely you have had intuition or an attraction within seconds of meeting him,,maybe not if looks is what your start your evaluation with,lol

I wasn't responding to you. I was answering Italian. And I don't sit there during a date with a freaking clipboard and a pen!

When I go on a date with a man, I make it a kickass fun one. Not a man's definition of fun:
Fun = sex
... but MY definition of fun: great conversation, cheeks-aching humour, tons of flirting and my undivided attention.

About the eight second theory; never experienced it. I've seen a million beautiful men in my life that I've thought the moment I saw him, "Wow, what would he look like half naked?" But I've never thought, "OMG! I would have sex with him right on this cash counter before eight seconds are up! To hell with the groceries!"

LOL Men never think of a really important reason why a woman might sleep with him after a date! Because she believes he might be interested enough in her to return! Duh! lol

One night stands are not what I set out to achieve on a date. That's a man thing. I look for a man I can share my best qualities with, like my creativity, sense of humour, passion & love of pleasure & beauty, for however long it lasts. But I need a connection that's more than just 1st date shagging.

If any man out there's interested, then lets get together! Summer's almost over! If you play your cards right, and at least PRETEND like you want a relationship, who knows? You might get lucky! LOL ;)

very curious - I did some research - aside from my own empirical data ;-)
I found nothing about the "8 second rule" or anything close to it. Maybe it exist but tought to find.

I did find this - pay attention guys...

A full 28% say they are willing to "sleep with a man on the first date" and 41% say they are willing to go all the way the second time around. The remaining 30% say they would wait at least "a couple of months" before they slept with a man.
